Slow or even stop electromagnetic (EM) waves attract researchers attentions for its potential applications in energy storage, optical buffer and nonlinearity enhancement. However, in most cases of the EM waves trapping, the EM waves are not truly trapped due to the existence of reflection. In this paper, a novel metal-semiconductor-semiconductor-metal (MSSM) structure, and a novel truly rainbow trapping in a tapered MSSM model at terahertz frequencies are demonstrated by theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. More importantly, functional devices such as optical buffer, optical switch and optical filter are achieved in our designed MSSM structure based on truly rainbow trapping theory. Owing to the property of one-way propagation, these new types of optical devices can be high-performance and are expected to be used in integrated optical circuits.

The concept of a trapped rainbow has generated considerable interest for optical data storage and processing. It aims to trap different frequency components of the wave packet at different positions permanently. However, all the previously proposed s tructures cannot truly achieve this effect, due to the difficulties in suppressing the reflection caused by strong intermodal coupling and distinguishing different frequency components simultaneously. In this article, we found a physical mechanism to achieve a truly trapped rainbow storage of electromagnetic wave. We utilize nonreciprocal waveguides under a tapered magnetic field to achieve this and such a trapping effect is stable even under fabrication disorders. We also observe hot spots and relatively long duration time of the trapped wave around critical positions through frequency domain and time domain simulations. The physical mechanism we found has a variety of potential applications ranging from wave harvesting and storage to nonlinearity enhancement.
We have theoretically and experimentally achieved large-area one-way transport by using heterostructures consisting of a domain of an ordinary photonic crystal (PC) sandwiched between two domains of magnetic PCs. The non-magnetized domain carries two orthogonal one-way waveguide states which have amplitude uniformly distributed over a large-area. These two waveguide states support unidirectional transport even though the medium of propagation is not magnetized. We show both experimentally and numerically that such one-way waveguide states can be utilized to abruptly narrow the beam width of an extended state to concentrate energy. Such extended waveguide modes are robust to different kinds of defects, such as voids and PEC barriers. They are also immune to the Anderson type localization when large randomness is introduced.
The emerging field of on-chip integration of nanophotonic devices and cold atoms offers extremely-strong and pure light-matter interaction schemes, which may have profound impact on quantum information science. In this context, a long-standing obstac le is to achieve strong interaction between single atoms and single photons, while at the same time trap atoms in vacuum at large separation distances from dielectric surfaces. In this work, we study new waveguide geometries that challenge these conflicting objectives. The designed photonic crystal waveguide is expected to offer a good compromise, which additionally allows for easy manipulation of atomic clouds around the structure, while being tolerant to fabrication imperfections.
The spectral dependence of a bending loss of cascaded 60-degree bends in photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides is explored in a slab-type silicon-on-insulator system. Ultra-low bending loss of (0.05+/-0.03)dB/bend is measured at wavelengths corresponding to the nearly dispersionless transmission regime. In contrast, the PhC bend is found to become completely opaque for wavelengths range corresponding to the slow light regime. A general strategy is presented and experimentally verified to optimize the bend design for improved slow light transmission.
A Bragg waveguide-based resonant fluidic sensor operating in THz band is studied. A fused deposition modeling 3D printing technique is employed to fabricate the sensor where the liquid analyte is flowing in the microfluidic channel integrated into th e waveguide cladding. The analyte refractive index-dependent resonant defect state supported by the fluidic channel is probed by tracking the resulting absorption dip and phase change of the core-guided mode on waveguide transmission spectra. The proposed fluidic sensor can open new opportunities in applied chemical and biological sensing as it offers a non-contact measurement technique for monitoring refractive index changes in flowing liquids.
